current US Pres Admin. there was a memo. did you not get it?
No, I don't get US Presidential memos. Also, last I checked, the US President was not in charge of how words are allowed to be used on HN.
Like there's really a memo. It's been in so many different news outlets. The current admin is trying to distance from previous use of the word. And if you think I was being serious, then you must not have gotten the memo on sarcasm. You should really declutter your inbox. You seem to be missing a lot of memos.
Perhaps you didn't get the memo - about charity, about not replying with snark or sneering, and about sarcasm often not coming across well in a text-only medium. All have been said here, by dang, frequently.
